No doubt, but there is an inherent cost to the fabric of civilization when you look at your neighbors and presume them to be the enemy.  We've gone too far as a society with this nativist, silo'ed view and it's a zero-sum game that has destroyed civility in our civilization.

I completely agree with you.  The absence of proper education - not the studying of facts, but the theory of knowledge itself, of critical thinking, the application of primary sources through methods of inquiry and validation - has rendered our entire population, by and large, stupid.  The Poly Shore movie from the late 1990s "Idiocracy" should clearly come across as a documentary now.
